It really depends on the state. DD's bfather was also unwilling to sign, but in the end did nothing to contest either.

In our case, we had a known bfather, but no known location. We put out a 30 day ad in an attempt to find him. We did find his location eventually through a different means. He was served papers, but never responded one way or another. A judge terminated his rights on Wednesday! She was almost 3 months, it should have only taken 30 days total, but it took us longer since we placed both the ad and served him papers. Oh- bfamily is in IN and we are in FL. We used FL laws.
